Thank you WPILIB devs for compilation improvements! #4612

Last season, our team noticed significantly long C++ build times, which were incredibly frustrating and delayed a lot of work (compile times could sometimes surpass 3-4 minutes on a slower laptop). However, on the new beta, we're seeing 4-5x faster build times (~30 seconds). That is insane! Thank you all! |

The main thing we changed was precompiling common template instantiations in CI for classes like the pose estimators. Good to hear it had an effect. |

Yes, we suspected the issue to be somewhere among all the odometry / path following libraries, and investigated precompiled headers, but we couldn't get them to work with gradle and haven't yet had time to investigate an alternative build solution. Thank you! |
